Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 Inspired by @gmoney in the croaking it thread. Celebs you or your family have nearly killed. My mum nearly ran over Sven Goran Eriksson when he was manager at Leicester. His car had a flat tyre and he was getting out to look at it and she nearly cleaned him up. Maybe this could have gone in the things your family have done thread but this is more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 I’d just posted in the croaking it thread but my dads mate nearly ran over a drunk Charles Hawtrey back in the eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 23 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 23 Wasn't Charles drunk most of the time. I'm not a Carry On expert like some on here, but wasn't his character always drunk in the films as a matter of expediency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 As mentioned in the croak thread, my grandfather in law nearly iced both Greg Proops and Jared Leto. Proops was crossing a street in SoHo without looking, and gave a comical shocked reaction when grandpa stopped about an inch short of him.  Leto stepped backwards out of some big SUV type vehicle, right in front of  the car. Barely seemed to notice Grandpa swerving to avoid him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 Yeah he was permanently pissed by all accounts. He used to live in Hounslow in his younger days so my grandad and his friends used to see him smashed in most of the pubs around there and Brentford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't take the hint and never made another Carry On. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scratch Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 I nearly killed BBC Look East (and later CNN) anchor Kate Riley several years ago as I exited the delicatessen opposite my office. She was so small, I just didn't see her and almost pushed her into the road and infront of a car. We actually stayed in touch for few years afterwards, as she somehow found me on Twitter.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I almost drove into Gail Platt from Coronation Street's car when she pulled out of a petrol station right in front of me. I saw her looking and I immediately thought to myself "oh look, it's Gail Platt", then the next thing I knew I was slamming the brakes on to avoid going into the side of her car. There's no question I would have hit her if I hadn't stopped, and for all I know she may well have died from her injuries. Just a few months later, and indeed just a few streets away from the Gail Platt incident, I was almost killed by Toyah Battersby when she pulled out of a side street into the main road without slowing down / stopping / looking.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 Disturbingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly for this place, not the very niche topic I was expecting, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
